Plenty to Do at the Senior Center

By Bette Eberly-Hill

The Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center (MSSC) at 1000 Forest Glen Road is always ready to welcome new members to its many programs for seniors ages 55 and up.  There are 11 free exercise classes of all kinds — from Senior Fit to Tai Chi, yoga, dance fitness, line dancing, kickboxing, low impact, balance fitness, and pickleball — and an exercise room with machines.  Foreign language classes in Spanish and Italian are offered.  Music and games (chess, cards, bingo, scrabble) are also offered.  Crafts include knitting, ceramics, cardmaking, and art.  Nutrition, vaccines, and weekly blood pressure readings are also available.  Lunch is served five days a week for a minimal fee.

Six pool tables are available every day for free play.  Other sports are pickleball (with instruction, if needed) and table tennis.  A court to play Bocce was recently added.

Busy on weekdays? The Center also is open on Saturdays all day with classes in Senior Fit, Qi Gong, Line Dancing, and yoga.  There are often special programs on Saturday afternoons.

Special programs are held throughout the year for holidays, performances, etc.  For more information, go to the link below to read Happenings, the monthly newsletter [choose “Newsletter”].  Ideas for new programs are always welcome.   ■
